A simple little touch of VA gives this wine a wild, fun vibe. More beaujolais like than other Oregon styles out there.

Tremendous value for people that want an elegant Pinot Noir. The aroma is intense with bramble fruit and cranberries; with air, more tobacco and forest emerged. High acidity with a clean, light body and high-tone finish. The wine is unfiltered which I think is extremely nessessary to retain complexity in Pinot.

May 22nd, 2015Subtle and fresh. Light Pinot with lots of depth which is surprising. Everything is very subtle in a great way. Not a meat wine. More delicate accompaniment is required to let this shine.

Oct 5th, 2015I don't know if I got a bad bottle, but this was undrinkable. Incredibly sour.
